splitting NSString element based on the special character in iphone

Question

I'm getting a string from xml as |Name|Id|Address| I want only the contents which are inside "|" that is Name and Address should be added to one array,Id should come in different array.How to split this string in to the array required

Answer 1

Try this:

NSArray *strComp = [string componentsSeparatedByString:@"|"];

This should give you an array containing [@"Name", @"Id", @"Address"]

You can then sort in to separate arrays as necessary.

Hope this helps to get you on your way!
